Abstract: | This paper provides a comprehensive and critical review and synthesis of the current state of empirical research into supplier integration in new product development (NPD), which will be an update of Johnsen’s literature review. This paper identified 10 trending topics, which are divided into 3 categories (buyer focus, buyer-supplier relationship, and supplier focus). By doing so, this paper could demonstrate factors that are crucial for the success of supplier integration projects by taking into account each category. From this base of the empirical research the analysis also identified that the early supplier involvement (ESI) in NPD research is still an emerging discipline. |
